Growth Factors

Increasing demand for hot melt adhesives in packaging applications, including cardboard and corrugated boards, is anticipated to propel market growth over the coming years. Increasing usage of hot glue adhesives in the packaging industry for various applications such as sealing of boxes and cartons for food and general consumer packaging is propelling the market growth. Hot melt adhesives (HMAs) offer adhesion to a wide variety of materials and surfaces, such as fabric, papers, ceramic, metal, cardboard, and plastics, which makes them suitable for DIY applications. Although DIY is leading in developed economies such as North America and Europe, it is a relatively new concept. The DIY applications include craft, general goods packaging, and wood working.

Rising demand for adhesives in bookbinding and bonding of shoe soles and applique is propelling the market growth. Hot melt adhesives are extensively used for bonding low-energy polymeric surfaces such as acetals, polyolefins, and polystyrene, thus driving the product demand in component assembly and the automotive industry.

By Product Analysis

The Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA) segment held the largest volume share of more than 40.0% in 2020. EVA is a copolymer adhesive, deployed in various industries including packaging, assembly, paper, and automotive.

The rubber segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of 6.4%, in terms of revenue, from 2021 to 2030. The product is mainly used in the adhesion of pressure-sensitive products such as labels, tapes, and graphics. 

Polyolefin hot melts are widely used in product assembly applications. The good barrier properties, excellent chemical resistance, and low moisture permeability are the prominent factors driving the segment. 

By Application Analysis

The packaging segment accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 30.0% in 2020. HMA meets extreme challenges and thus is highly preferred in the packaged industry. It is used in closing the flaps of corrugated boxes and paperboard cartons in the packaging industry. 

The nonwovens segment is expected to witness significant growth from 2021 to 2028. Rising concerns over personal hygiene and increasing disposable income are the key factors boosting the demand for nonwoven products, such as female hygiene goods.

Hot melt adhesives are extensively used by car and truck manufacturers for the adhesion of carpets, headliners, radiators, and batteries.

By Regional Analysis

In terms of revenue, Asia Pacific held the largest share of over 45.0% in 2020. Significant growth of e-commerce services in the region, along with swiftly rising demand for nonwoven products, is the key factor boosting the market growth in the region.

North America is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.3%, in terms of revenue, from 2021 to 2028. The packaging sector in the region is anticipated to be the key factor for the market growth owing to the presence of some of the largest packaging manufacturers. Europe is predicted to witness steady growth across the forecast period
